As you walk in, there's a refrigerator on the left stocked with a wide selection of meat cuts and flavored sausages, with plenty of marinated and non-marinated options to choose from. I highly recommend the Yukon Gold marinade. If you don't own a smoker or simply don't have the time, Austin's will even smoke your meat for you and have it ready when you need it. For hunters, Austin's also offers game processing with a variety of seasoning options and preparation options. The process is straightforward, making it easy from drop-off to pickup. The staff are consistently friendly, knowledgeable, and enjoyable to work with. If you enjoy quality meats and excellent customer service, Austin's is absolutely worth a visit.

So, as you're driving down the I-5 and looking for a place to get delicious sandwiches, this is the perfect spot! And, while you're there, stock up on wide variety of handcrafted sausages, brats, beef sticks, bacon, marinated meats, dry rubs and more! We brought an insulated bag with ice packs to put them in. We grabbed some for family we were visiting in Sacramento and stopped again on our way back home to stock up. We tried the Brisket and Ribeye sandwiches. The bread got soft fast, maybe a little too soft. They were both hot sandwiches so not sure if it was from a little too much bbq sauce, juices from the meat or how it's wrapped. The brisket and ribeye were tender and juicy. I liked the Ribeye a little more since it had mushrooms, bell peppers and onion. I would have liked the bread to be more toasty since we ate the sandwiches there. But, that's my preference; I love more texture in my food. Loved the variety of sausages, brats and beef sticks that we got. The bacon was a lot thinner than we're used to. We bought lots of their dry Wolfsen's seasoning since it's one of my bf's favorites! I loved that the beef sticks that weren't too oily and very tasty. I wish we had gotten more of them! The sausages were so flavorful!! We tried them in a variety of dishes. We really liked the Smoked Blueberry Bratwurst, Smoked Andouille Sausage, Smoked Chuckwagon sausage, Cajun Style Smoked Sausage and Smoked German Pork Sausage.

What's not to love about Lockeford Sausage?! The back of their business card has the list of…read moresausages and was told that you may order ahead of time but will still need to get in line for pick-up! Even though the sign says they only allow 6 people at a time, the line goes pretty quick but what slows it down sometimes are the newbies who aren't familiar with what they offer or designate one person. Also, try to avoid coming in at least 2-3 days before any Holidays unless you have time to wait for a good hour or two, speaking from experience. Appreciate the staff overall with all their hard work! Aside from their infamous bacon which I love, we also pick up about a pound of the following: Spicy Luau, Italian and Breakfast sausages. We pick up regular or teriyaki jerky from time to time as well.

This was the only time I have…read moreactually tried sausages and asked someone where they got it. lol Anyway the host told us its from here, and if we would like some, he will get us some when he visits again. Lockeford is pretty far from us so we took the offer. After maybe a year of learning about this place, we finally found ourselves close by to visit the actual store! We heard the lines can get pretty long so we went right at open on a Sunday. There was a line of maybe 8 people so we didn't wait too long. We had our list ready so we didn't have to hold the line while we ordered. We got chorizo, smoked Dakota, and our favorite, spicy Hawaiian. We got stuff for 3 houses so we had them all packed separately. The ladies working here were very serious and processed us quickly and let us go on our merry way. I also grabbed from teriyaki beef sticks for my ride back home. Super delicious so I will have to remember to get more of those next time.

I will say that I've always been a fan of mobile food trucks as the majority of ones I've been to…read moreover the years have been tacos. However, I had the opportunity trying out one of the more well-known butcher shops to serve San Joaquin County. This is none other than "Fagundes Meats & Catering" which has been a staple in Manteca for decades. Their actual brick-and-mortar location is off of N. Main St/E. Louise Ave in the heart of Manteca while their food truck ventures out to various locations for a variety of community events. In this case, I saw them serving hungry patrons at the Manteca Watermelon Street Fair that took place during the weekend of 6/6/26-6/7/26. To those that know this business already is that they are famous for their tri-tip. In addition to that, they also have other amazing protein options including rib-eye, brisket, pulled pork, Italian sausage, linguica, chicken, and the order I went with, their pork belly. I ended up going with their "Pork Belly Kabobs" and went for the combo deal which included a side (I went with their macaroni salad) and a drink (I opted for a Diet Pepsi). Total price for everything was $17 (which included tax + tip); not bad especially at a public outdoor event. I will say that the pork belly was quite delicious; a little bit on the salty side but nonetheless still a fairly decent portion in each and every bite. I paired it up with their homemade BBQ sauce which had a sweet yet tangy flavor. The macaroni salad was just average for me as it had too much of a vinegar taste while lacking a whole lot of flavor. Overall, I enjoyed this meal as it held me through the majority of the afternoon. I am definitely curious to try their other meats if I end up visiting their actual butcher shop. Overall, the service was excellent considering I was at a busy outdoor event. The line moved quickly while the prices were quite reasonable, even these days where meat prices have become quite outrageous. With that said and done, I am giving the mobile food truck portion of "Fagundes Meats & Catering" an above average four stars. Hopefully I can make a future visit to their butcher shop in the coming months so stay tuned!

Yogi Bear resort unfortunately it feels more focused on squeezing every dollar possible out of…read morefamilies than actually creating an affordable experience for kids and parents. The prices inside the store are honestly ridiculous. Everything from chips and drinks to toys and basic necessities is marked up to an unreasonable level. Families already spend a lot just to stay at the resort, and once you're there, it feels like you're trapped paying inflated prices for every little thing your kids want or need. There's no consideration for affordability or for the average family trying to give their children a good time without going broke. The laundromat was another huge disappointment. Machines barely worked, several looked out of service, and the area was dirty and poorly maintained. For a family resort where people stay multiple days, that's unacceptable. What makes this frustrating is that the employees themselves are amazing. The staff were friendly, hardworking, patient with guests, and clearly doing the best they can under poor management decisions. The workers deserve far better pay and appreciation because they are the only reason this place still has a positive atmosphere. Management seriously needs to rethink the pricing, maintenance, and overall customer experience instead of treating families like walking wallets. Corporate is a whole bunch of investors. Who think it's OK not to care with families feel like our so they make every soda five dollars and every toy which does not make any sense to top it off. The waterpark is closed and the activity rooms are closed. Still pay full price. Is not family friendly environment do not come unless you have your money and you're willing to spend the least 200 to 300 bucks on extra stuff. Toilet paper, boiling washing, bacon, eggs. You can tell it's establishment is not meant for the consumer or for the children or the parents strictly made for the investors. It's very obvious that all price point it feels like you're in Las Vegas the way they charge you outrageously for things. I'm just a normal guy from Sacramento, California. I live a middle class life. I'm not rich. I only can afford detector family out these things affordable and once we came iTunes scene every toy was $30. After tax, this is a very bad review no stars the service however was excellent. Especially Jennifer. The ground keepers. Everyone was super nice and did their job very well. The establishment itself is very old and poor bathrooms. Look like someone left them to rot for years. Do not use bathrooms. Do not come Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday because waterpark is not open. Yes the swimming pool is open. That's it go to Walmart. Do not buy groceries from this place. I came with five people and met a few more and we're all leaving like reviews. Enjoy your day. I hope this saves you the hassle that I have to go through my family.
